Detection and Diagnosis

Catching cancer early often allows for more treatment options.  Some early cancers may have signs and symptoms that can be noticed, but that is not always the case.

Doctors often use survival rates as a standard way of discussing a person's outlook (prognosis). These numbers can’t tell you how long you will live, but they might help you better understand your prognosis. Some people want to know the survival statistics for people in similar situations, while others might not find the numbers helpful, or might even not want to know them.
